Optimized transformation, overexpression and purification of S100A10

Abstract

As a member of the S100 protein family, S100A10 has already been purified. However, its purity, or even yield, have often not been reported in the literature. To facilitate future biophysical experiments with S100A10, we aimed to obtain it at a purity of at least 95% in a reasonably large amount. Here, we report optimized conditions for the transformation, overexpression and purification of the protein. We obtained a purity of 97% and performed stability studies by circular dichroism. Our data confirmed that the S100A10 obtained is suitable for experiments to be performed at room temperature up to several days.
